N-Scale Apartment Building
This small two-story apartment building is one customer's first complete building using

"I am impressed with the results! The building is made of bass wood, and the paper was glued to it.
With a little effort and patience, you can make some fantastic buildings!"

Model Builder Country Store
A great little country store built by a customer for their layout using

"I had originally intended this space to be used as a parking lot for our train station across the road. And the gravel for the parking lot was already in place. After we finished the country store, it fit perfectly!"
N-Scale Brewery House
This brew house in N-scale was designed using
Model Builder.
The cream-colored brick is from the Scalescenes English Bond plug-in, and the windows and doors are composite designs of downloads and
Model Builder files.
Signal Box Building
One of our customers modeled parts of his layout after New Zealand after he was inspired by a friend's railroad tour of the country. This signal box is one of many interesting features that can be built using
Model Builder. Using
Model Builder, "I was able to match up the colors to the one in Lyttleton, NZ."
Model House rough
You can use
Model Builder with a variety of materials, as this customer did with "a model of my house, imagined during hard times. The backing is breakfast cereal box cardboard."
Fantastic way to recycle!
Used Car Office
"The software is easy to use and looks great when finished."
This is one of several several 1:64 scale dioramas depicting scenes along Route 66 that one of our customers has made using
Model Builder software.
Rustic Model Building
"Took some time out from other modeling to take a whirl at your free sample [found at our
Model Builder page]. I added details on the trim to give it more dimension, as well as building up the false front a little. Turned out great. I already have the
Brickyard package, and I will be ordering your design software soon!"
Brick Harborside structure
"I just completed these two 3D flats using your
Brickyard papers. They are modeled on actual buildings from my hometown. I added details but am just blown away by the appearance of your papers. Careful weathering with powdered charcoal really makes them pop, in my opinion."
We think these extra details really make the design pop. Thanks for sharing!

Cardstock Sheds
Wondering what materials make a difference in building your models? Check out this submission from one of our customers.
"I downloaded the free download of the shed and then built it two different ways. The first one was just as the designer did on cardstock. With the second one, I glued the cardstock on black chip board, then glued the walls to the front and back letting the chipboard show. It looks great, just like trim!"
Model Lumber Mill
"I just completed my very first scratch built with the aid of
Model Builder. This is the Casterline Sawmill & Lumberyard in Hillbilly Junction, TN. The sawmill workers are Prieser construction workers. I designed this in part from a photo I saw of a custom kit that cost over $400! My actual investment was about $35.00!"
Model Builder is just as cost-effective as it is easy to use!

Winslow Diorama
A customer submitted this NTRAK module of downtown Winslow, AZ. All buildings were designed using photos of the area and converted to N-scale using
Model Builder. Building designs were printed on adhesive-backed photo paper, which was then applied to 0.020-thick polystyrene sheet and panels glued using 1/8" angled polystyrene. Tenax corners were touched up using pastel chalks. The end result looks like a flyover photo. Thanks for the submission!

Small General Store
This building was one customer's first attempt with
Model Builder. Looks like he's already a pro!
"I used a cardboard box, plain paper, tacky glue, and real stones. The gas pump is scratch-built."
What a great first project with our software!
Cooders Store Using Model Builder
Customer Roy Wilke submitted this diorama with the Cooders Store mode from Evan Designs'
Model Builder. The model represents a suburban shop in an Australian city or medium-sized town. The original model has been modified by replacing the gable roof with a half-hip roof and replacing the shingle roof card with cards that mimic corrugated iron roofing. The awning posts, as is the sub-frame that holds it all together, are made of matchsticks. The "tiled front" for the shop's street frontage comes from a file for a London Underground station, and the advertisements are taken from the Internet. The front windows and doors are open and include a rudimentary shop interior, which can be illuminated with an installed LED.
"Thank you for your time, and for providing a rather good, easy to build, and easily-adaptable model building."
Thanks for the submission, Roy!

Apartment Model
Using
Model Builder, another customer created a building "with a few extra angles ... and any evident mistakes are the fault of this architect." No faults seen here!
"It's a bit larger than I intended, having a footprint of 11" x 9". It's made of 110-lb (199 g/m) index card laid over black foamcore. Black foamcore is much less likely to gouge out at the edges than white foamcore."
This is an overall shot with a Star Wars miniature (28mm tall) for scale.
Freight Transfer
This freight station for both semi trucks and train cars was designed using
Model Builder and made of card stock and basswood frame.
"This was a Z-scale model I built with your program. It was 4 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 1 1/2 inches tall." Thanks for sharing!
